Intro

Verse 1

Glinda):

  [F6/9]

I've heard it said

  [F6/9]

That people come into our lives for a reason

 Bringing something we must learn.

  [F6/9]

And we are led

 To those who help us most to grow,

 If we let them,

 And we help them in return.

 Well I don't know if I beleive that's true,

 But I know I'm who I am today

 Because I knew you...

Chorus

 Like a comet pulled from orbit

 As it passes a sun,

 Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood,

 Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

 But because I knew you,

I have been changed for good.

Verse 2

Elphaba):

 It well may be

That we will never meet again

[F6/9]

In this lifetime

 So let me say before we part:

  [F6/9]

So much of me

 Is made of what I learned from you,

 You'll be with me

 Like a handprint on my heart.

 And now whatever way our stories end,

 I know you have re-written mine

 By being my friend...

Chorus

 Like a ship blown from its mooring

 By a wind off the sea,

 Like a seed dropped by a sky bird

In a distant wood,

Who can say

 If I've been changed for the better?

But

 Because I knew you...

[Glinda]

 Because I knew you...

[Both]

 I have been changed for good.
